HAMILTON was no match for Horsham Demons in round seven of the Western Victoria Female Football League (WVFFL) senior women’s competition last weekend, going down 9.9 (63) to 3.5 (23) at Horsham City Oval.

The Demons put the visitors on the back foot from the beginning as they quickly controlled the play, racing out to a 15-point lead at the first break.

From here, they continued to dictate play for the next two quarters, winning the contested ball and generating plenty of scoring opportunities.

The Kangaroos fought back in the fourth quarter kicking a couple of goals and matching the home side around the ground, but it was too late as they lost by 40 points at the final siren.

Elise Thurman, Caroline McGrath, Chloe Finnigan, Emma Lynch, Sophie Rentsch and Teyah Evans were the best players for Hamilton on the day.

Despite the loss on the weekend, the Roos have been putting together an impressive season with only one other loss which came against an undefeated South Warrnambool side – by only six points.

The girls are sitting in third position and will be looking to put together a consistent next month of football as the league approaches finals.

CAVENDISH had a tough day out against Tyrendarra as they were outplayed all across the ground with the home side dominating the second half to run away to a huge victory, 21.14 (140) to no score.

Bloods captain, Nicole Adamson led from the front despite the loss and was named her team’s best player on the day.

Other strong performers for Cavendish were Kirra Schultz, Clare Henstridge, Hannah Lewis, Stephanie Granziera and Sophie Herrmann.

The Bloods remain in fifth position on the ladder with one win this season which came against bottom-placed Warrnambool - the side will hope to bring a more competitive effort when it takes on Hamilton next week.

CAVENDISH made sure that Portland remained on the bottom of the ladder as the visitors won 14.12 (96) to 1.5 (11) in the round seven action last Friday night.

Bloods forward, Georgie Harris had the best game of her season as she kicked six goals in the win, taking her season tally to 13 – first in the league goal kicking.

The visiting side was too strong for a winless Tigers team as they controlled play from the first siren and put the game to bed with a five goal to no score first quarter.

Leayla Pohl, Harris, Matilda Mason, Ava Murrihy, Ruby Packman and Matilda Brook were some of Cavendish’s best players in the win - the team now sits in third place

Under-15

HAMILTON fought hard against an undefeated North Warrnambool side but didn’t have enough firepower as the top side ran away to a healthy 87-point win on Friday night, 13.10 (88) to 0.1 (1).

It was always going to be a tough match for the Kangaroos who are placed fifth with two wins, but they battled hard and held the Eagles to just four goals in the first half at Bushfield Oval, but it was to no avail.

Eloise Millard, Georgina Russell, Taya Sherlock, Tyler Tuckey and Mikela Pohl were Hamilton’s best.

The Roos will face another challenge tomorrow when they travel to Koroit to take on a strong Saints team.
